Ed,

Looking forward to meeting you in person when you deliver Steve Carey's car. Let me know when you are ready, looking forward to seeing it.

SteveG23,

Pay close attention to what DV says, unlike most of us, he actually knows what he is talking about. But don't let him know that, it may go to his head

The same goes for MarkIV, he has a wealth of knowledge, but keep the praise low or else he will never be able to get his head into that GT40

I wouldn't let having chevy weldments keep me from putting a sbf in it if that's what you want. I've had three different motors in mine and had to fab motor mounts to get the engine to sit the way I wanted it every time.

DV,

I contacted Jackie on Friday at Finish Line for the windshield and was told "everything is turned off until they can get through batch of new orders". Jackie directed me to Dana at International Wholesale for the windshield. I have not contacted them yet.

I am getting ready to send the frame out for sandblasting and powder coating since it has been sitting for the last 15 years (at least it was stored inside).

While the frame is out getting powder coating, I want to order the front & rear suspension and acquire a rear end. I like the idea of buying a 'package' from a vendor so I know all the components are designed to work together (if this makes sense).

The car will have a SB Chevy (400HP). Mainly used for street driving (not too firm/harsh ride), but autocross is not out of the question at some point (may require some changes in the future if I decide to go that route).

Items I need are listed below along with some names I saw mentioned in previous posts. I would appreciate any suggestions on the parts as well as sources and part numbers - so I don't screw up and buy the wrong stuff. I have not talked with any of the vendors yet.

Coil Over Shocks (QA1?)

Upper and lower control arms (Heidt?)

Steering columnower steering (Flaming River or DV)

Upper control arm brackets (Bethania Garage)

Rebuilt 8.8 rear end (?)

Again, any sources & part #'s anyone has would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
